Ah. I thought they were discussing their bedroom performance, where this is also lauded.

I’m in favor of using Greek alphabet-year. So Alpha-21, Beta-21, etc, or even military letter phoenetics. Foxtrot-21, Kilo-21, etc.

An NBA ref immediately appeared from offscreen, raised a fist in the air and gave the man two free shots.

“Now think about the extra charging benefits of a battery around 1/3rd the size.”

Honestly we need to make amber rear turn signals a law here. Imagine how many rear end accidents would drop if the brake lights just do the only job it is suppose to do.

It’s obviously a Red Lantern shirt.

Missed article title opportunity: “He’s not here, he’s not there, he’s not any-fucking-where. Is Roy Kent CGI?”

About the Chipotle app - the online experience (at least at the Chipotle near my home) is nowhere near as good as actually walking in and watching/directing them as they make your food. Errors are common and quantities are inconsistent. Might just be that our neighborhood Chipotle sucks, but consider yourself…

The Lyriq has CAPACITIVE BUTTONS.

I think the real key here is that they designed this platform to be a phev with rotary range extender (which they hope to expand to other vehicles on the new platform in future) but

They’ll lease enough of them to keep CARB happy while they work on their next offering. 

All these not-quite-robocar manufacturers keep harping the wrong point about self-driving: they act as if the percentage of miles that a driver covers in a week that can be self-driven matters. (“Look! 80% of the miles you drive can be done by the car! We’re nearly there to Level 5!”) That line of logic is utter…

Hot take and totally right. Cadillac is doing it right by focusing on freeways, where you have a carefully controlled, predictable, well-marked, limited-access environment, and the benefit is high due to driver fatigue.

Somebody said, in Musk’s hearing, “those panel gaps are so big I could stick my dick in ‘em.”

Meanwhile, this is an actual (non vaporware-horseshit) robot, built by Hyundai.

These look so horrible I can’t believe that GM didn’t offer them this way from the factory.

Sorry Denis, but I’m not going to the theater for you. I’m vaccinated, but that vaccine only works so well against the delta variant. And even if it protects me from getting very sick, I might be contagious, and I live in a building with elderly and infirm people and unvaccinted children, and I’m not going to risk…

Yeah, I didn’t really understand the harping on manufacturing complexity. These vehicles are, and will continue to be, proof-of-concept vehicles trying to get the right mix of sensors for maximum cost/benefit ratio.

Self driving cars will be a thing, but if it ends up not being a thing it won’t be because the manufacturing complexity. It will be the obvious thing that’s always been the problem: that making the software capable of driving a car is difficult and requires addressing a multitude of edge and corner cases.…

Perhaps, but virtually all of that supposed evidence is missing in this post.
